Baltimore flops again, this time in Seattle 22-17

Steven Hauschka matched a franchise record with five field goals, but it was those five kicks that gave Baltimore hope late. After Lynch's 1-yard TD run on Seattle's second possession, the Seahawks got inside the Baltimore 25 on five other occasions, settling for field goals each time.

Baltimore had a chance with a 10-play, 65-yard drive, helped along by two defensive penalties and capped by Flacco's 11-yard TD pass to tight end Ed Dickson with 5:52 remaining, cutting the lead to 22-17.

Flacco set a career high in attempts, while Dickson had a career high with 10 catches and two touchdowns, including a second-quarter TD catch from Rice.

But Flacco and the Ravens never got the ball back. Following the score, Seattle immediately got a pair of penalties and started with a first-and-20 at its 10. They got back to a manageable third-and-5 at its 25 and Tarvaris Jackson found Golden Tate for 24 yards with 4:37 left.

Then Seattle got a highlight reel moment from Lynch. He caught a short pass 3 yards short of a first down and faked out both Ray Lewis and Jarret Johnson to get the needed yards. Seattle ran out the clock, finally taking a knee at the Ravens 17 as the final seconds ticked away.

"Coaches love nothing more than to get that situation in the fourth quarter and run the clock out," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "And think about who you did it against. That's really cool that happens."

Along with Reed's two fumbles, Cundiff missed field goal attempts of 52 and 50 yards in the first half.

Seattle also forced a turnover when rookie K.J. Wright dropped off the line, batted Flacco's pass for Boldin into the air and into the arms of David Hawthorne, who returned the interception inside the Ravens 10 to lead to another Hauschka field goal in the third quarter.

Baltimore goes home to face Cincinnati (6-3) with a chance to move back on top of the AFC North.

"It's pretty high, we had a long trip out here, feeling confident and to come in here and not be able to get that game separation from everyone else in your division when you really had a good shot to do that, it doesn't feel good," Flacco said.

"But we know that we have to improve, and we have a couple of good games coming up in a short time and we have to be able to rebound and comeback strong, and it starts with Cincinnati."
